Evaluating the Effects of Anthropogenic and Tectonic Factors on Landform Changes with the Aim of Improving the Environment (Case Study: Shour River and Eshtehard Plain)

Tectonic and human activities, such as land-use changes and urbanization, have directly and indirectly impacted the geomorphic characteristics of landforms.These activities have influenced erosion and sedimentation rates, evaporation and transpiration processes, runoff patterns, river dynamics, and the frequency of mass movements.This study examines the effects of human and neotectonic activities on geomorphological dynamics of the Shour River and Eshtehard Plain.The research aims to (1) Assess geomorphological changes in landforms to identify potential negative consequences and regional instabilities and (2) to identify key factors driving these changes, evaluate their impacts, and determine the most significant contributors to environmental vulnerability.Temporal and spatial changes in landforms were analyzed using aerial photographs, maps, and satellite images, supplemented with field data and observations.The findings were derived by cross-referencing satellite data, fieldwork results, and previous studies.Information sources included documentary references, scholarly articles, library materials, satellite imagery, and geological maps.Field observations were conducted across different seasons to assess the region's response to tectonic and human influences.
